    Do you even see your default gravatar?

    Also a link to your site would be good so that we can take a peek ourselves.

    I had gotten Skippy’s plugin working, but reverted back to using the plugin that is availbale from the Gravatar website itself after I had issues with Skippy’s version.

    You have made the appropriate calls in your comments.php file or whatever you are using for your comments?

    Just installing/activating the plugin will get you the Admin option menus, but will not actually put the gravatars in your comments, until you make the call to the plugin.

    If you are using Skippy’s Gravatar plugin (and it sounds like you are), you will have to make a call to “gravatars();” in your comments file.

    Ah, well that’s not right..now do you see BBC for existing posts in addition to other sources, that is, do you see BBC on every post regardless of it being new or old? Or just on new posts or posts meant to have BBC?

    Having not used the custom field extensively, I really can’t provide a lot of details or explanations.

    From my understanding of it, that particular section of the Write interface is showing you what the current custom fields associated with your post are. Not duplicate information. If you are not looking at a post in particular, you should not have any default values.

    My bad..of course..if you’ve had a blog for a while and want your stuff saved, please be sure to back it up using phpMyAdmin or something..

    Only do what I suggested if you care not what’s in the database or if you’re starting out fresh in the blogging world.

    Regards

    OK..the next step would be to tackle the database. Putting new files in place wouldn’t necessarily have done anything to your old (maybe broken) database.

    As neon suggested, if you have an SSH account (which webhost doesn’s these days? ), then login to your account and try the following:

    <username> is from your wp-config.php file. Use the password from that same file when prompted to below.

    $) mysql -u<username> -p
    $) show databases;
    $) drop database <your-wp-database-name>;
    $) create database <your-wp-database-name>;
    $) quit;

    Now when a fresh copy of all the files, go through the installation steps again and see if you have any better luck.

    Let us know how it goes..

    Sure, at the Mysql> prompt.

    create database 'database-name';

    You can then do a use 'database-name' to ensure that it looks good.

    Then just enter that name into the wp-config.php file.

    Let’s ensure that some of the most basic stuff is working on your website. Create a new file called “p.php” and in it, add the following piece of code:

    <?php phpinfo(); ?>

    Save it, upload it to your website and go to it with your browser, you should see some information about what version of PHP you have running as well as some of the setting it’s using.

    If that particular page yields you a blank page, you’ve got issues that your webhost would have to look at before you can get any further.

    Please let us know how this works out and we can take it to the next step. Sometimes baby steps works the best. 🙂

    If your host is running phpMyAdmin for you, or if you can install it yourself, use it to change the settings manually in the database.

    This link should provide you with the necessary steps.

    Did you go into the Admin->Options page and change the BLOG URL to be the root (/) directory instead of /wp as well??

    I modified WPPM to work with Curl and handed the changes to Dave, who said that he would release the changes as an update. So keep your eyes out for that.

    Once you database is created, the WordPress installation script goes through and creates all the necessary tables it needs

    It looks like the database username you provided WordPress does not have enough permissions to create tables. This will mean that a lot of functionailty will not work as WP will need to alter the table entries later on for your blog to function.

    Contact your hosting provider and ensure that your database account has the appropriate permissions.

    I believe Google has a policy against multiple blocks showing up on the same page. You are only allowed to show a single block on a page..read up on the usage agreement before playing with this any further.

    Use the “contact” form on that website and ask the author, that’s the fastest way of figuring out what he’s using. If it’s freely available, you can have it too.
